To be fair, this patient was nice, but really, what can I say about this shirt? This is kind of like the bumper stickers that some of my high school classmates used to have on their cars: "I Love Bong Hits" and "In Search of the Eternal Buzz" come to mind. Perhaps a baseball cap with a neon flashing sign that says "Arrest Me" would complete the picture? And oh by the way, I did get permission to take this picture.

Now that's the difference between nurses and ganstas. Nurses LOVE to snitch. Nurses will snitch to anybody about anything. Now that's bad if you do something that you don't want the whole nurses' station (hell, the whole ER) to know about. But if somebody busts a cap in yo' ass, there will be 15 people at any given time ready to tell the cops who is to blame.

monkey girl. you better remain anonymous or you might get a cap busted in YOU. snitchin', in my ED, gets you 125 of succ. in the glut after we get you good and drunk on an etoh iv then we dump you in the bushes near a bar. cause of death, aspiration after too much alcohol. so sad, but that's what happens to snitches.
